Trka2002 Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 My first puzzle. I used a #5 blade which may be too big. The pieces are a bit loose and I may want to tighten it up a little. What size blade do some of you other puzzle makers use? Lucky2, frankorona, jollyred and 3 others 6 Quote
kmmcrafts Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 Nice job on the puzzle !! In the puzzle book I have it suggest a number 5... that said.. I believe many folks ( me included) use a number 3.. I have used and still do for certain types of wood a number 5.. Quote
Iguanadon Posted March 2, 2018 Report Posted March 2, 2018 Nicely done. I use Olson Mach Speed #3 blade. You just have to be careful not to "flex" the thinner blade as you're cutting which would cause issues with the pieces not able to slide in and out from both sides. Quote

rdatelle Posted March 3, 2018 Report Posted March 3, 2018 I to use a #3 Ur on all the puzzles. That came out good. Really, it's all up to the scroller. Quote
Lucky2 Posted March 4, 2018 Report Posted March 4, 2018 I use a number three for cutting puzzles also, they keep the tabs from being to loose. Len Quote
jbrowning Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 Good job, I use a UR#3 blade for my puzzles which is cut out on 3/4" Poplar. Quote
ike Posted March 5, 2018 Report Posted March 5, 2018 I use 2 sizes for it ID & OD I use a #5 or 7 for the puzzle pieces I use a #3 I use nohig but Olson's match bades. With a #3 blade your saw has to be set up with the blade square with the table. and I mean real square Quote
